This is making me feel like like I want to go and rock myself back and forth into a calmer state.
I can't compute it.
How can anything be that quick?
How can anyone be skilful and stupid enough to drive it?

Now I'd like to see a bike have a proper go around there. It would make a good TV show for Guy Martin.

Guy could get the backing and sell the show, but we all know who's fastest around the 'Ring on two wheels.
I think the best hope would be a partnership with BMW, who have the money, the bike, and, most importantly, the influence to make it happen.
Oor Andy + S1000 + support + adequate practice time = sub 7.
Full lap.

In his last book, GM says that he had support from Triumph motorcycles, Metzeler tyres, North One Television, and the 'Ring to attempt a record in 2015. He says they got a long way organising things when 'the folk at the Nurburgring shit themsleves'. They allegedly told the tyre company 'We don't want any motorbike records breaking around here. The track's not designed for motorbikes'. So that was that.

He goes on to say that he still wants to go back and attempt to beat Andy's unofficial TF record on his own bike one day.

If the whole world was filled with just animals and David Attenborough, it would be a beautiful place. Unfortunately, it's been overrun by 7.7-billion assholes.

I remember a Performance Bikes article about 10 years ago where Dale lapped the ring with Guy and either Andy or Bren. Guy seemed game to give it a proper go back then.

You know what; it would end badly. Maybe not Guy, but someone chasing a record. I think road racing survives because it’s become an institution, I can see why the ‘Ring just wouldn’t want to go there.
